Salt Spring Island
Salt Spring Island is your first opportunity to truly experience Island life. Everyone is extremely laid back, so don't be expecting to get something done in a rush. Make sure you visit Ganges on a Tuesday (small market) or Saturday (large market) to truly experience island life. There is nothing in the market that is not grown, made or produced on the island.
